Ye Lingling’s consciousness seemed to slowly surface from the depths of the sea, regaining control over every inch of her body’s perception.
The first thing she felt was an unprecedented sense of lightness and… power.
She was still maintaining her Spirit Avatar state of the Life Begonia Emperor.
Her ankle-length emerald green hair, like carved jade, swayed without any wind, each strand radiating a warm and sacred halo.
She slowly raised her right hand; above her palm, the evolved Life Begonia Emperor floated silently.
The petals were crystal clear.
A dense emerald light pulsed like a heartbeat.
With each flash, it stirred up layers of ripples that spread outward, brimming with vitality.
Just by naturally releasing her divine power, Ye Lingling could clearly feel every cell in her body rejoicing.
That pure, ultimate Life energy originating from her Spirit was not only many levels higher than the original Nine Heart Begonia, but it was also subtly and continuously nourishing and strengthening her meridians and physique.
Spirit Power surged like an endless river, flowing unimpeded through meridians that had been widened several times over, becoming both majestic and concentratedly refined.
She could sense that her current total Spirit Power and its purity were probably not inferior to that of some ordinary Spirit Ancestors.
Furthermore, her physical fitness, reaction speed, and even her five senses had all been enhanced to an unimaginable degree.
This was absolutely not the constitution a Rank 30 support-type Spirit Master should possess.
“Is this… the change brought about by ultimate Life?” Ye Lingling murmured in her heart, her voice filled with surprise.
“It’s more than that,” Ling Ye’s voice echoed in her mind.
“The baptism of energy from the 100,000-year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone formed the foundation. Your body withstood that level of destructive force without being destroyed, and was subsequently reshaped by ultimate Life force. Its foundation is now so solid it defies ordinary imagination. What you lack now is merely combat experience and the accumulation of Spirit Power ranks.”
Ye Lingling nodded gently.
After a moment of thought, she withdrew the Life Begonia Emperor Spirit.
In an instant, that sacred Life aura, which had been involuntarily radiating outward, receded like the tide.
Her waterfall-like emerald green hair quickly faded from the roots, returning to its original neat and sharp short silver hair.
That emerald vitality in her eyes also vanished, restoring her usual clarity and coldness.
“Ling… Lingling…”
Just then, a weak and anxious cry broke the silence.
Ye Lingling’s heart trembled violently. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
She quickly turned and walked a short distance away.
Her mother, Ye Qingxian, was struggling to awaken from her coma.
Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she unconsciously murmured her daughter’s name in a low voice.
Though her consciousness had not yet fully cleared, that bone-deep worry had not diminished in the slightest.
“Mother! I’m here, I’m fine!”
Tears welled up in Ye Lingling’s eyes.
No longer able to suppress her emotions, she threw herself into her mother’s arms like a fledgling swallow returning to its nest.
Feeling her mother’s warm embrace and familiar scent, all the strength she had forced herself to maintain along the way, the fear of the unknown, and the bewilderment of gaining power all burst forth as hot tears streaming down her face.
Jolted by her daughter’s sudden embrace, Ye Qingxian fully awoke.
She held her daughter tightly, examining her from head to toe, her hands trembling slightly.
After confirming that aside from some disheveled and slightly dusty clothes, her daughter had no other visible external injuries, her anxious heart finally settled slightly.
“You’re alright, you’re alright…” Ye Qingxian’s voice carried the hoarseness unique to survivors.
She gently stroked her daughter’s back, her gaze immediately scanning the surroundings warily.
The terrifying giant flower that had pierced the sky was gone.
The two unconscious guards still lay not far away.
The surroundings were a mess, and the air still carried heart-pounding fluctuations of residual energy.
“Lingling, what exactly happened just now? That… that 100,000-year Spirit Beast?”
Ye Qingxian’s voice was very low, filled with lingering fear and confusion.
Before losing consciousness, she only remembered seeing that massive flower and the humanoid phantom within it.
Ye Lingling lifted her head from her mother’s embrace, wiped her tears, her small face flushed from excitement and her recent crying.
Looking at her mother’s worried and puzzled eyes, she felt a pang of panic in her heart.
“Mother, I… I have something to tell you.” Ye Lingling took a deep breath.
She decided to follow Ling Ye’s earlier instructions and tell only part of the truth.
“But you must promise me that, for now, you won’t tell anyone about this except yourself, including others in the family.”
Seeing her daughter’s serious expression, Ye Qingxian’s heart tightened, and she nodded.
“Speak. Mother is listening.”
“That 100,000-year Spirit Beast was called the Destruction Begonia Emperor,” Ye Lingling organized her words, trying to make her tone sound calm.
“It… it didn’t harm us. On the contrary, it chose to sacrifice itself. It gave me all of its 100,000 years of cultivation, its Spirit Ring, its Spirit Bone… everything.” Read this novel at novelping.com for the best experience.
“Sacrifice? Sacrificed to you?” Ye Qingxian’s beautiful eyes instantly widened, and her breathing became rapid.
As a Spirit Saint, she understood the meaning of “Sacrifice of a 100,000-year Spirit Beast” even better than her daughter.
This was practically a legend among legends in the Spirit Master world!
Its value and rarity far surpassed that of an ordinary 100,000-year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone!
“Yes.” Ye Lingling thoughtfully raised her left hand.
Although she deliberately suppressed its aura, a tiny, deep purple Begonia flower phantom—surrounded by faint destructive ripples—quietly appeared in her palm for a moment before quickly vanishing.
“This is the Spirit formed from its origin source—the Destruction Begonia Emperor. My Nine Heart Begonia Spirit also evolved after being stimulated during the sacrificial process.”
As she spoke, she raised her right hand again.
This time, the emerald phantom of the Life Begonia Emperor flickered and disappeared.
Even though it was only a fleeting glimpse, that supreme Life aura still shocked Ye Qingxian.
As a Spirit of the same origin, she instantly felt that absolute hierarchical suppression, and also… a sense of affinity.
Twin Spirits!
An evolved Spirit!
A 100,000-year Sacrifice!
Each piece of explosive information struck Ye Qingxian’s brain like a bolt from the blue, making her feel as if she were in a dream where everything was unreal.
How could there be such an inconceivable, such a fortunate opportunity in the world?
This nearly overturned all her previous understanding of Spirit Master cultivation!
She stared blankly at her daughter, speechless for a long time.
Her gaze shifted back and forth between her daughter’s hands.
As she sensed the fluctuations of Spirit Power within her daughter’s body—power that, even when suppressed, caused even her to feel a hint of pressure—she finally had to accept this unbelievable fact.
Following the immense surprise came even deeper worry.
Ye Qingxian tightly grasped her daughter’s hand, her grip involuntarily tightening.
“Lingling, this… this power is too strong. Can you… can you really control it? Do you feel any discomfort? That Spirit Beast’s soul…”
“Mother, don’t worry.” Ye Lingling held her mother’s hand, her eyes clear and resolute.
“The remnant consciousness of the Destruction Begonia Emperor… I call him Brother Ling Ye. He bears me no ill will. The sacrifice was his own choice; he wants to use my body to witness and participate in a… completely different journey.”
